Treasure: The Treasure of Repentance

Treasure: The Treasure of Repentance

Pastor Paula Sutherland

Repentance is the deliberate daily action of understanding that we are lost and need to be found.

PROVERBS 1:23 

Repent at my rebuke!  Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you, my teachings.

1. I am lost.

PROVERBS 1:23 

Repent at my rebuke...

Hebrew: Tshuva - To understand that I am lost and then allow myself to be found and brought home.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
    He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for His name’s sake.
 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for He is with me;
His rod and His staff,
   They comfort me.

 He prepares a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
He anoints my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
 Surely His goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

We are not in the world for God but 

We are in God for the World

Dallas Willard

2. And now I’m found.

PROVERBS 1:23 

Repent at my rebuke!  Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you, my teachings.

The gift of repentance means, "I surrender all."
